The Respiration of Mature Field Bean (Vicia faba L.) Leaves During Prolonged Darkness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dark respiration in attached and detached mature leaves of thefield bean (Vicia faba L.) was studied whilst leaves experiencedup to 60 h of darkness. The results showed: (1) the initialrespiration rate to vary according to the irradiance duringthe previous photoperiod; (2) the dark respiration rate (perunit area) of attached leaves to be essentially constant duringa normal 12 h night although there was a rapid loss in leafd. wt during this time; (3) after 12 h, the respiration rateof attached leaves decayed to an asymptotic value at about 36h; (4) the respiration rate of leaves detached at the end ofthe photoperiod and maintained in the dark on deionised water,decayed only after 36 h of darkness; (5) there was no differencebetween the respiration rate of attached and detached leavesduring the normal 12 h night. It is concluded that the dark respiration of attached fieldbean leaves is intially related to the synthesis and translocationof sucrose in addition to maintenance. After about 36 h, whenthe rate of CO2 efflux is more or less steady, the CO2 effluxreflects the intensity of maintenance processes only. The maintenancerespiration rate (determined after 60 h in the dark) rangedfrom 062 to 151 mg CO2 (g d. wt)1 h1 but wasrelatively unaffected by several applied treatments.

Agrostis capillaris L.5, Festuca vivipara L. and Poaalpina L.were grown in outdoor open-top chambers at either ambient (340 3µmol mol1) or elevated (6804µmol mol1)concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) for periodsfrom 79189 d. Photosynthetic capacity of source leaves of plants grown atboth ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations was measured atsaturating light and 5% CO2. Dark respiration of leaves wasmeasured using a liquid phase oxygen electrode with the buffersolution in equilibrium with air (21% O2, 0.034% CO2). Photo-syntheticcapacity of P. alpina was reduced by growth at 680 µmolmol1 CO2 by 105 d, and that of F. vivipara was reducedat 65 d and 189 d after CO2 enrichment began, suggesting down-regulationor acclimation. Dark respiration of successive leaf blades ofall three species was unaltered by growth at 680 relative to340 µmol mol1 CO2. In F. vivipara, leaf respirationrate was markedly lower at 189 d than at either 0 d or 65 d,irrespective of growth CO2 concentration. There was a significantlylower total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) concentrationin the leaf blades and leaf sheaths of A. capillaris grown at680µmol mol1 CO2. TNC of roots of A. capillariswas unaltered by CO2 treatment. TNC concentration was increasedin both leaves and sheaths of P. alpina and F. vivipara after105 d and 65 d growth, respectively. A 4-fold increase in thewater-soluble fraction (fructan) in P. alpina and in all carbohydratefractions in F. vivipara accounted for the increased TNC content. In F. vivipara the relationship between leaf photosyn-theticcapacity and leaf carbohydrate concentration was such that therewas a strong positive correlation between photosynthetic capacityand total leaf N concentration (expressed on a per unit structuraldry weight basis), and total nitrogen concentration of successivemature leaves reduced with time. Multiple regression of leafphotosynthetic capacity upon leaf nitrogen and carbohydrateconcentrations further confirmed that leaf photosynthetic capacitywas mainly determined by leaf N concentration. In P. alpina,leaf photosynthetic capacity was mainly determined by leaf CHOconcentration. Thus there is evidence for down-regulation ofphotosynthetic capacity in P. alpina resulting from increasedcarbohydrate accumulation in source leaves. Leaf dark respiration and total N concentration were positivelycorrelated in P. alpina and F. vivipara. Leaf dark respirationand soluble carbohydrate concentration of source leaves werepositively correlated in A. capillaris. Changes in source leafphotosynthetic capacity and carbohydrate concentration of plantsgrown at ambient or elevated CO2 are discussed in relation toplant growth, nutrient relations and availability of sinks forcarbon.

Indirect effects of atmospheric CO2 concentration [CO2], onlongleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) foliage respiration werestudied by growing trees in a factorial arrangement of low andhigh [CO2] (369 and 729µmol CO2 mol1) and low andhigh N (40 and 400 kg ha1 yr1). Direct effectsof [CO2] on leaf respiration were tested by measuring respirationrates of foliage from all treatments at two CO2 levels (360and 720µmol CO2mol1) at the time of measurement.Elevated CO2 did not directly or indirectly affect leaf respirationwhen expressed on a leaf area or mass basis, but a significantincrease in respiration per unit leaf N was observed in treesgrown in elevated [CO2] (indirect response to elevated [CO2]).The lack of a [CO2] effect on respiration, when analysed onan area or mass basis, may have resulted from combined effectsof [CO2] on factors that increase respiration (e.g. greateravailability of non-structural carbohydrates stimulating growthand carbon export from leaves) and on factors that decreaserespiration (e.g. lower N concentration leading to lower constructioncosts and maintenance requirements). Thus, [CO2] affected factorsthat influence respiration, but in opposing ways. Key words: Pinus palustris, elevated CO2, nitrogen, foliar, respiration 相似文献

The atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has beenrising and is predicted to reach double the present concentrationsometime during the next century. The objective of this investigationwas to determine the long-term effects of different CO2 concentrationson carbohydrate status and partitioning in rice (Oryza sativaL cv. IR-30). Rice plants were grown season-long in outdoor,naturally sunlit, environmentally controlled growth chamberswith CO2 concentrations of 160, 250, 330, 500, 660, and 900µmolCO2 mol1 air. In leaf blades, the priority between the partitioningof carbon into storage carbohydrates or into export changedwith developmental stage and CO2 concentration. During vegetativegrowth, leaf sucrose and starch concentrations increased withincreasing CO2 concentration but tended to level off above 500µmolmol1 CO2. Similarly, photosynthesis also increased withCO2 concentrations up to 500µmol mol1 and thenreached a plateau at higher concentrations. The ratio of starchto sucrose concentration was positively correlated with theCO2 concentration. At maturity, increasing CO2 concentrationresulted in an increase in total non-structural carbohydrate(TNC) concentration in leaf blades, leaf sheaths and culms.Carbohydrates that were stored in vegetative plant parts beforeheading made a smaller contribution to grain dry weight at CO2concentrations below 330µmol mol1 than for treatmentsat concentrations above ambient Increasing CO2 concentrationhad no effect on the carbohydrate concentration in the grainat maturity Key words: CO2 enrichment, starch, sucrose 相似文献

Sources of Inorganic Carbon Acquired through CAM in Littorella uniflora (L.) Aschers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Madsen, T. V. 1987. Sources of inorganic carbon acquired throughCAM in Littorella uniflora (L.) Aschers.J. exp. Bot.38: 367377. The CO2 dynamics of the lacunal air and the relative contributionof external and internal CO2 sources to dark CO2 assimilationwas examined in the submerged aquatic CAM species Littorellauniflora (L.) Aschers. Refixation of internal CO2, released by dark respiration, constitutedabout 3035% of the total dark CO2 assimilation. At aCO2 concentration of 0·2 mol m3 around the leavesthe external CO2 uptake through the roots increased from 45%of the total CO2 uptake at 0·7 mol m3 CO2 to 100%at 1·6 mol m3 and 3·1 mol m3 CO2around the roots. The negligible importance of leaf CO2 uptakeat high CO2 concentrations around the roots was the result ofa causative high CO2 concentration in the leaf lacunae. The CO2 permeability of Littorella leaves was high relativeto root permeability. This has at least two ecological implications:(1) it enhances the potential diffusive release of CO2 fromthe sediment C02-pool via the lacunal system of the plants.This loss of CO2, however, was found to be greatly reduced byCAM activity of the plants. (2) The high permeability of theleaf surface to CO2 exchange allows the plants to assimilateCO2 from the water surrounding the leaves when the concentrationis high, i.e. during extensive epiphyte dark respiration. Thus,CAM tends to facilitate retension of a high CO2 pool in thesediment-plant system and at the same time allows the plantsto exploit the water column CO2 source when it is abundant.This result is in accordance with the general idea that CAMin aquatics constitute a carbon conserving mechanism.

Carbon dioxide efflux from 5- to 20-day-old pea fruits was measuredfor plants grown in controlled environment at 15 °C and600 µmol s1 m2 photon flux density in a16 h photoperiod. The rate of CO2 output per fruit increasedquickly from 0.005 to 0.018 mg CO2 min1 during fruitelongation and subsequently more slowly to 0.030 mg CO2 min1as the fruits inflated. On a d. wt basis the rate was highest,0.175 mg CO2 g1 min1, in the youngest fruits anddeclined curvilinearly with increasing fruit weight to 0.02mg CO2 g1 min1. Separation of maintenance andgrowth components was achieved by starvation methods and bymultiple regression analysis. From the latter method estimatesof the maintenance coefficient declined hyperbolically from150±8.7 mg carbohydrate g1 d. wt day1 inthe very young fruits (0.05 g) to 10.4±0.36 mg carbohydrateg1 d. wt day1 in older fruits (2.0 g). On a nitrogenbasis maintenance costs decreased from 2240 to 310 mg carbohydrateg1 nitrogen day1 while nitrogen concentrationfell from 6.7 to 3 per cent d. wt. A simple linear relationshipbetween maintenance cost per unit d. wt and nitrogen concentrationwas not observed. A growth coefficient of 50±6.7 mg carbohydrate g1growth (equivalent to a conversion efficiency, YG, of 0.95)was estimated for all fruits examined. The overall efficiency, Y, increased from a mean of 0.70 to0.85 during fruit elongation and subsequently declined to 0.80.For a given fruit weight, efficiency increased asymptoticallywith relative growth rate; both asymptote and slope of the relationshipincreased as the fruits grew.

Single clonal plants of white clover (Trifolium repens L) grownfrom explants in a Perlite rooting medium, and dependent fornitrogen on N2 fixation in root nodules, were grown for severalweeks in controlled environments which provided two regimesof CO2, and temperature 23/18 °C day/night temperaturesat 680 µmol mol1 CO2, (C680), and 20/15 °Cday/night temperatures at 340 µmol mol1 CO2 (C340)After 34 weeks of growth, when the plants were acclimatedto the environmental regimes, leaf and whole-plant photosynthesisand respiration were measured using conventional infra-red gasanalysis techniques Elevated CO2 and temperature increased ratesof photosynthesis of young, fully expanded leaves at the growthirradiance by 1729%, despite decreased stomatal conductancesand transpiration rates Water use efficiency (mol CO2 mol H2O1)was also significantly increased Plants acclimated to elevatedCO2, and temperature exhibited rates of leaf photosynthesisvery similar to those of C340 leaves instantaneouslyexposed to the C680 regime However, leaves developed in theC680 regime photosynthesised less rapidly than C340 leaves whenboth were exposed to a normal CO2, and temperature environmentIn measurements where irradiance was varied, the enhancementof photosynthesis in elevated CO2 at 23 °C increased graduallyfrom approx 10 % at 100 µmol m1 s1 to >27 % at 1170 µmol m2 s1 In parallel, wateruse efficiency increased by 2040 % at 315 µmolm2 s1 In parallel, water use efficiency increasedby 2040 % at 315 µmol m2 s1 In parallel,water use efficiency increased by 2040 % at 315 µmolm2 s1 In parallel, water use efficiency increasedby 2040 % at 315 µmol m2 s1 to approx100 % at the highest irradiance Elevated CO2, and temperatureincreased whole-plant photosynthesis by > 40 %, when expressedin terms of shoot surface area or shoot weight No effects ofelevated CO2 and temperature on rate of tissue respiration,either during growth or measurement, were established for singleleaves or for whole plants Dependence on N2, fixation in rootnodules appeared to have no detrimental effect on photosyntheticperformance in elevated CO2, and temperature Trifolium repens, white clover, photosynthesis, respiration, elevated CO2, elevated temperature, water use efficiency, N2 fixation 相似文献

Dark Respiration of Several Varieties of Winter Wheat Given Different Amounts of Nitrogen Fertilizer 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Carbon dioxide production in the dark by ears and by the restof the shoot of winter wheat grown in the field was measuredin 2 years during grain growth. The respiration rate per g d.wt of the ears was increased by nitrogen fertilizer. Ears ofthe semi-dwarf varieties Maris Fundin and Hobbit respired moreslowly than ears of Maris Huntsman and Cappelle-Desprez. Respirationrates of the rest of the shoot were unaffected by nitrogen orvariety. The amount of carbohydrate required to provide the CO2 respiredduring the whole period of grain growth varied from 163 to 443g m2, or 42 to 76 per cent of the dry weight of the grain.More than half the CO2 lost was respired by the ear. The additionof 180 kg N ha1, which increased grain yield by 78 percent in 1975, almost trebled the amount of CO2 lost by the ears.The semi-dwarf varieties lost less CO2 from ears and shootsthan did the taller ones, and had larger yields of grain. Respiration was also estimated from the difference between the14C contents of shoots sampled immediately after a 30 s exposureto 14CO2 and at maturity. When 14C was supplied 10 days afteranthesis, the loss by maturity amounted to 1628 per centof that initially absorbed by flag leaves and 40 per cent ofthat absorbed by the leaf below the flag leaf. Most of the lossoccurred in the first day. The loss of 14C by maturity was significantlyincreased by nitrogen fertilizer in 1975.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Digger) was grown for 22 d inenclosed chambers with a CO2 enrichment of 35, 155, 400 or 675µmol CO2 mol1. CO2 enrichment increased photosyntheticcapacity in the plants grown at either of the two highest levelsof pCO2. A CO2 enrichment of 675µmol CO2 caused a significantincrement of shoot dry weight, whereas no changes were observedin fresh weight, chlorophyll or protein levels. At a light intensityof 860µmol m2s1 CO2 enrichment caused photosyntheticcapacity to increase by 250%, whereas no effect was observedat 80 µmol m2 s1. Over time, photosynthesisdecreased by 70% independent of CO2. A time-dependent increasein the level of extractable fructose was observed whereas totalextractable carbohydrate only changed slightly.

The Carbon Economy of Rubus chamaemorus L. II. Respiration 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Respiratory activity and seasonal changes in carbohydrate contentof the storage organs of Rubus chamaemorus L. have been investigated.Leaf dark respiration rate increases in a non-linear mannerfrom 0·7 mg CO2 evolved dm2 h1 at 0 °Cto 4·6 rng CO2 evolved dm2 hh1 at 30 °C.Root and rhizome respiration rates increase from 1 µ1O2 uptake g1 fresh weight h1 at 0.7 ° C to10 µ10, uptake g1 f. wt h1 at 20 °C.Rhizome carbohydrate reserves decline from a September peakof 33 per cent alcohol insoluble d. wt to 16 per cent in May. The circumpolar distribution of R. chamaemorus is discussedin relation to the evidence presented here and in the precedingpaper of the series. 相似文献

Effect of Elevated CO2 on the Photosynthesis, Respiration and Growth of Perennial Ryegrass 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Single, seed-grown plants of ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv.Melle) were grown for 49 d from the early seedling stage ingrowth cabinets at a day/night temperature of 20/15 C, witha 12 h photoperiod, and a CO2 concentration of either 340 or680µI 11 CO2. Following complete acclimation tothe environmental regimes, leaf and whole plant CO2 effluxesand influxes were measured using infra-red gas analysis techniques.Elevated CO2 increased rates of photosynthesis of young, fullyexpanded leaves by 3546% and of whole plants by morethan 50%. For both leaves and whole plants acclimation to 680µI1 CO2 reduced rates of photosynthesis in bothCO2 regimes, compared with plants acclimated to 340µll1. There was no significant effect of CO2 regime onrespiration rates of either leaves or whole plants, althoughleaves developed in elevated CO2 exhibited generally lower ratesthan those developed in 340µI I1 CO2. Initially the seedling plants in elevated CO2 grew faster thantheir counterparts in 340µI I1 CO2, but this effectquickly petered out and final plant weights differed by onlyc. 10%. Since the total area of expanded and unexpanded laminaewas unaffected by CO2 regime, specific leaf area was persistently1340% lower in elevated CO2 while, similarly, root/shootratio was also reduced throughout the experiment. Elevated CO2reduced tissue nitrogen contents of expanded leaves, but hadno effect on the nitrogen contents of unexpanded leaves, sheathsor roots. The lack of a pronounced effect of elevated CO2 on plant growthwas primarily due to the fact that CO2 concentration did notinfluence tiller (branch) numbers. In the absence of an effecton tiller numbers, any possible weight increment was restrictedto the c. 2.5 leaves of each tiller. The reason for the lackof an effect on tillering is not known.

The specific respiration rates of nodulated root systems, ofnodules and of roots were determined during active nitrogenfixation in soya bean, navy bean, pea, lucerne, red clover andwhite clover, by measurements on whole plants before and afterthe removal of nodule populations. Similar measurements weremade on comparable populations of the six legumes, lacking nodulesbut receiving abundant nitrate-nitrogen, to determine the specificrespiration of their roots. All plants were grown in a controlled-environmentclimate which fostered rapid growth. The specific respiration rates of nodulated root systems ofthe three grain and three forage legumes during a 714-dayperiod of vegetative growth varied between 10 and 17 mg CO2g1 (dry weight) h1. This mean value consistedof two components: a specific root respiration rate of 69mg CO2 g1 h1 and a specific nodule respirationrate of 2246 mg CO2 g1 h1. Nodule respirationaccounted for 4270 per cent of nodulated root respiration;nodule weight accounted for 1240 per cent of nodulatedroot weight. The specific respiration rates of roots lackingnodules and utilizing nitrate nitrogen were generally 2030per cent greater than the equivalent rates of roots from nodulatedplants. The measured respiratory effluxes are discussed in thecontext of nitrogen nitrogen fixation, nitrate assimilation.

Growth and dark respiration were measured in dense, miniatureswards of kikuyu grass grown at constant temperatures of 15,20, 25 and 30 °C. Total respiration over the first 12 hof darkness was very high and CO2 efflux per unit surface areavaried from 2.4 to 3.9 g CO2 m2 h1 at 15 and 30°C respectively. Such rates were consistent with the correspondinglyhigh net growth rates of 24 and 63 g d. wt m2 d1and the heavy yields of herbage. When plants were kept in thedark, CO2 efflux subsequently declined rapidly to a lower, constantrate which was taken to be the maintenance respiration rate.The half-life of the declining phase of respiration averaged10.9 and 6.0 h at 15 and 30 °C respectively, and was curvilinearlyrelated to the specific maintenance respiration rate (m). Therapid decline in respiration was consistent with the low concentrationsof total soluble carbohydrate and starch in the herbage. Valuesof m for lamina and top growth increased with temperature witha Q10 of 2.6 and 1.42 respectively, but m of stems alone wasnot affected by temperature. Using results from this study forkikuyu and from McCree (1974) for sorghum and white clover,it was noted that all three species have similar m when grownat temperatures which are near their respective optimums forgrowth.

The effects of different NaCl concentrations on the growth andnitrogen fixation activity of white lupin (Lupinus albus [L.])was studied over a 6 d period. Plant growth parameters, photosynthesisand shoot respiration were unaffected by NaCl concentrationsup to 150 mol m3. However, nitrogenase activity decreasedwith increased NaCl concentration up to 100 mol m3, whilstthe O2 diffusion resistance increased with 100 mol m3NaCl, but showed no further change when 150 mol m3 NaClwas applied for 6 d. Increases in NaCl concentration decreasednodular starch content while increasing sucrose content, suggestingan osmotic regulation. These changes were associated with a77% decrease in sucrose synthase activity. The effect on theO2 diffusion resistance was paralleled by changes in glycoproteincontent of the nodules, as determined by immunogold localizationand ELISA. X-ray microanalysis studies of nodules showed that,following a 6 d exposure to 150 mol m3 NaCl, Na+ ionswere largely excluded from the infected zone, whilst only lowlevels of Cl- ions penetrated into this region. Na+ entry intoroots and leaves was also at a low level. Leghaemoglobin contentdecreased with saline stress, as did superoxide dismutase; whichdecreased by 36% following exposure to 100 mol m3 saltfor 6 d. These results are discussed in relation to the relativesalt tolerance of the Multolupa/ISLU-16 symbiosis.

Environmental Influences on Carbon Recycling in a Terrestrial CAM Bromeliad, Bromelia humilis Jacq. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of night-time temperature, leaf-to-air vapour pressuredeficit (VPD) and water stress on CO2 recycling in Bromeliahumilis Jacq. grown under two light and nitrogen regimes wereinvestigated. At night-time temperatures above 30°C, integratednet dark CO2 uptake was severely reduced and CO2 for malatesynthesis was mainly derived from dark respiration. At 35°C,up to 84% of the CO2 liberated by dark respiration was refixedinto malic acid. Below 30 °C only nitrogen deficient plantsshowed significant recycling. No significant differences wereobserved between high and low light grown plants in CO2 recycling.A doubling of leaf-to-air VPD from 7-46 Pa kPa1 to 15.49Pa kPa1 resulted in a 2- to 20-fold decrease in leafconductance and about 50 to 65% reduction in integrated darkCO2 uptake. However, about twice as much CO2 was recycled atthe higher VPD as in the lower. Ten days of water stress resultedin 80 to 100% recycling of respiratory CO2. Under high VPD andwater stress treatments, the amount of water potentially savedthrough recycling of CO2 reached 2- to 6-fold of the actualtranspiration. In general, nitrogen deficient plants had higherper cent recycling of respiratory CO2 in response to high night-timetemperature, increased VPD or water stress. The results emphasizethe ecological relevance of carbon recycling in CAM plants. Key words: Bromelia humilis, CAM, PPFD, dark respiration, temperature, VPD, water stress 相似文献

Effects of Prolonged Darkness on the Sensitivity of Leaf Respiration to Carbon Dioxide Concentration in C3and C4Species 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Predicting responses of plant and global carbon balance to theincreasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphererequires an understanding of the response of plant respirationto carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]). Direct effects of thecarbon dioxide concentration at which rates of respiration ofplant tissue are measured are quite variable and their effectsremain controversial. One possible source of variation in responsivenessis the energy status of the tissue, which could influence thecontrol coefficients of enzymes, such as cytochrome-c oxidase,whose activity is sensitive to [CO2]. In this study we comparedresponses of respiration rate to [CO2] over the range of 60to 1000 µmol mol-1in fully expanded leaves of four C3andfour C4herbaceous species. Responses were measured near themiddle of the normal 10 h dark period, and also after another24 h of darkness. On average, rates of respiration were reducedabout 70% by the prolonged dark period, and leaf dry mass perunit area decreased about 30%. In all species studied, the relativedecrease in respiration rate with increasing [CO2] was largerafter prolonged darkness. In the C3species, rates measured at1000 µmol mol-1CO2averaged 0.89 of those measured at 60µmol mol-1in the middle of the normal dark period, and0.70-times when measured after prolonged darkness. In the C4species,rates measured at 1000 µmol mol-1CO2averaged 0.79 of thoseat 60 µmol mol-1CO2in the middle of the normal dark period,and 0.51-times when measured after prolonged darkness. In threeof the C3species and one of the C4species, the decrease in theabsolute respiration rate between 60 and 1000 µmol mol-1CO2wasessentially the same in the middle of the normal night periodand after prolonged darkness. In the other species, the decreasein the absolute rate of respiration with increase in [CO2] wassubstantially less after prolonged darkness than in the middleof the normal night period. These results indicated that increasingthe [CO2] at the time of measurement decreased respiration inall species examined, and that this effect was relatively largerin tissues in which the respiration rate was substrate-limited.The larger relative effect of [CO2] on respiration in tissuesafter prolonged darkness is evidence against a controlling roleof cytochrome-c oxidase in the direct effects of [CO2] on respiration.Copyright 2001 Annals of Botany Company Carbon dioxide, respiration, Abutilon theophrasti(L.), Amaranthus retroflexus(L.),Amaranthus hypochondriacus (L.), Datura stramonium(L.), Helianthus annuus(L.), Solanum melongena(L.), Sorghum bicolor(L.

Fully light-intercepting simulated swards of S24 perennial ryegrasswere exposed to contrasting environmental conditions in a growthroom for 4 days. Half experienced 20 h days of 120 Wm2(400700. nm) and 5 °C, and came to have a WSC (watersoluble carbohydrate) content of 235 mg g1 and half 4h days of 20 Wm2 and 25 °C leading to a WSC of 25mg g1. Their rates of CO2 efflux were monitored at anumber of temperatures during an 8 h dark period; half experiencedincreasing (530 °C) and half decreasing (305°C) temperatures. The high WSC swards hadrespiration rates of 3.7 mg CO2 g1 (d. wt) h1at 15 °C, and the low swards 0.8 mg CO2 g1h1. The order in which the temperatures were experiencedwas immaterial. Even the low WSC swards showedno evidence of a respiratory decline during the dark periodthat could be attributed to substrate shortage. The relationshipbetween temperature and CO2 efflux was best represented by logisticcurves. Even so, a Q10 of 2 fitted the data reasonably well,at least up to 20 °C, and has practical advantages wheninterpolating estimated between measured values of respirationin the construction of a carbon balance sheet.

Seeds of apple cv. Golden Delicious were germinated and cultivatedin the greenhouse until the third leaf emerged. Respirationofgerminating seeds or photosynthesis of the first leaves wasmeasured by infra-red gas analysis and porometry, respectively.To study the role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC),the dominant carboxylase in the carbon economy, its CO2 refixationpotentialwas related to the amount of CO2 lost in respiration. With arange of 0.2 (dry seeds) to 18 (cotyledons) µmol CO2 h1g1 PEPC activity resembled or exceeded the amount ofC02 lost in respiration before the third leaf developed. Itis concludedthat PEPC largely contributes to economize the carbonmetabolism of apple seedlings before they become photosyntheticallycompetent.

Clonal plants of white clover (Trifolium repens L ), whollydependent on N2 fixation, were grown for 6 weeks in controlledenvironments providing either (C680 regime) 23/18 °C day/nighttemperatures and a CO2, concentration of 680 µmol mol1,or (C340 regime) 20/15 °C day/night temperatures and a CO2,concentration of 340 µmol mol1 During the firsthalf of the experimental period the C680 plants grew fasterthan their C340 counterparts so that by week 3 they were twicethe weight this 2 1 superiority in weight persisted until theend of the experiment The faster initial growth of the C680plants was based on an approx 70 % increase in leaf numbersand an approx 30 % increase in their individual area Initially,specific leaf area (cm2 g1 leaf) was lower in C680 thanin C340 leaves but became similar in the latter half of theexperiment Shoot organ weights, including petioles and stolons,reflected the C680 plant's better growth in terms of photosyntheticsurface Throughout, C680 plants invested less of their weightin root than C340 plants and this disparity increased with timeAcetylene reduction assays showed that nitrogenase activityper unit nodule weight was the same in both C680 and C340 plantsBoth groups of plants invested about the same fraction of totalweight in nodules Nitrogen contents of plant tissues were similarirrespective of growth regime, but C680 expanded leaves containedslightly less nitrogen and their stolons slightly more nitrogenthan their C340 counterparts However, C680 leaves containedmore non-structural carbohydrate Young, unshaded C680 leavespossessed larger palisade cells, packed more tightly withinthe leaf, than equivalent C340 leaves The reason for the C680regime's loss of superiority in relative growth rate duringthe second half of the experiment was not clear, but more accumulationof non-structural carbohydrate, constriction of root growthand increased self-shading appear to be the most likely causes Trifolium repens, white clover, elevated CO2, elevated temperature, growth, N2 fixation, leaf structure 相似文献

Mächler, F., Lehnherr, B., Schnyder, H. and Nösberger,J. 1985. A CO2 concentrating system in leaves of higher C3-plantspredicted by a model based on RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase kineticsand 14CO2/12CO2 exchange.J. exp. Bot. 36: 15421550. A model is presented which compares the ratio of the two activitiesof the enzyme nbulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase asdetermined in vitro with the ratio of photosynthesis to photorespirationin leaves as determined from differential 14CO2/12CO2 uptakeor from CO2 compensation concentration. Discrepancies betweenmeasurements made in vitro and in vivo are attributed to theeffect of a CO2 concentrating system in the leaf cells. Interferencefrom dark respiration is discussed. A CO2 concentrating systemis postulated which is efficient mainly at low temperature andlow CO2 concentration.
